Don Angie releases reservations on OpenTable 7 days ahead. The exact hour is not confirmed yet. Tables go fast, so the people who get in hear first.
Last updated . Source: SnagRes availability record, 201,735 checks of Don Angie through 19 October 2026. How we measure. Open dataset.
Don Angie books on OpenTable only, and new dates are commonly said to open 7 days ahead, which the restaurant has not confirmed; we most often see them appear at 3 PM. At our last check a table for two showed on 0% of dates, and 3% opened at some point, so the realistic way in is a text the moment a cancellation opens.
You book Don Angie on OpenTable, not Resy. New dates appear about seven days ahead, and prime slots are gone in seconds whichever clock time you use. In practice most diners get in by catching a cancellation, which tends to surface in the final day or two before a date at no predictable hour.
No. Don Angie takes reservations on OpenTable only, which trips up people who default to Resy for a hard Italian table. Both the daily release and every later cancellation happen on OpenTable, so watching OpenTable at the right moments is the entire booking game.
Yes, it is one of the hardest tables in New York. A two-top was open on 0% of the next 30 dates and a four-top on 0%, and across 201,735 checks of its calendar we have found an open table 148 times.
Friday, then Tuesday. Of the 148 open tables we have recorded, 38 were Fridays and 37 Tuesdays, against 0 on Thursdays. A movable dinner belongs early or late in the week, not on a Thursday or a Saturday.
Mostly late. Of the 373 open slots we have sampled, 51% were 9:00 PM or later and 10:00 PM was the most common; 48% were before 6 PM and prime time was 1%. If a Don Angie table reaches you it is most likely late, and turning that down is usually turning down the only offer you will get.
Yes, and missing it is the normal experience. Because the release leaves a bookable table on 0% of dates, nearly everyone who eventually dines there caught a cancellation instead. Those concentrate in the final day or two before a date, which is the stretch worth watching closely.
That is your call, but know what you are buying. Services that book and resell reservations charge for the seat, the practice New York's 2024 reservation law was written to address. SnagRes never books, holds or resells a table. We alert you, and you book it yourself on OpenTable.

Don Angie books on OpenTable with a seven-day window, and its release hour is the one thing on this page we will not state flatly. The time widely repeated for it is 9:00 AM, and we hold no statement from the restaurant itself confirming that. Our own measurement disagrees: across 679 release events logged on 60 separate observation days, the hour we most often saw new Don Angie dates appear was 3 PM New York time.
So check at both. On a window only seven days long, a six-hour error is the entire game, and loading the page twice costs you nothing. Where a restaurant publishes its own rule we quote it and let it win, which is what we do on our Cote and Tatiana guides. For Don Angie we have not found one, so you get the measurement and the caveat rather than false confidence.
The platform matters as much as the hour. Don Angie does not list on Resy at all, which quietly disqualifies everyone who defaults to Resy for a hard Italian table in the West Village. Both the daily release and every later cancellation happen on OpenTable, so that is the only page worth having open.
The measurement comes from 201,735 availability checks against Don Angie's calendar, part of 61,530,416 checks across the 284 restaurants we follow. A short list checked constantly is the only way to say anything specific about one room, and a release hour is an operating decision a restaurant can change, so we keep re-measuring rather than publishing once and walking away.
The seven-day window is the other half of the problem. A calendar that reaches only a week out compresses everyone who wants the same Saturday into the same few seconds, and unlike a 30-day room there is no quiet stretch at the far edge where demand has not caught up yet.
Don Angie showed a bookable table on 0% of the dates in the current 30-day window for a two-top, and 0% for a four-top. Widen the lens and it gets starker: across 201,735 checks of its calendar we have found an open table 148 times. Not a percentage. Occurrences.
A 0% reading does not mean the restaurant never seats anyone. It means a table almost never stays open long enough for a normal person to find it and take it. The room fills at release and then only frees a table when someone gives one back, which is why loading OpenTable on a random afternoon and seeing nothing is the expected result rather than bad luck.
At our last reading Don Angie was one of 39 tracked restaurants at 0% for a two-top. Most of that group shares a shape: a scheduled release, a hard ceiling on covers, and a wall of people arriving at the same instant. Larger parties get no relief here, which is unusual. At Cote a four-top was open on 93% of dates while a two-top managed 0%.
The honest framing is that this is a supply problem wearing the costume of a timing problem. Being faster helps at the margin. It cannot manufacture a table in a small dining room that filled a week ago.
A two-top was open on 0% of the next 30 dates, and a four-top on 0%.
In 201,735 checks of Don Angie's calendar we have recorded an open table 148 times.
3% of dates opened at some point in our record.
The booking window is 7 days, one of the shortest we track in New York.
Friday and Tuesday lead, and Thursday trails. Of the 148 open tables we have caught, 38 were Fridays out of 28,389 Friday checks and 37 were Tuesdays out of 29,034. Monday produced 33, Wednesday 15, Sunday 20, Saturday 5 and Thursday 0.
Read the low counts precisely, because a night we have rarely or never seen open is not necessarily a night the restaurant is closed. We report what we observed, which is the claim our data supports. Either way the planning consequence is identical: those are not the nights to spend your attention on.
The pattern also tells you how to place your request. If the dinner is movable, a Friday or a Tuesday is meaningfully more available than a Thursday or a Saturday. Asking for the wrong night at a room this tight is how people conclude a restaurant is impossible when what they actually found was the hardest night of its week.
Late, or early. Of the 373 open slots we have sampled at Don Angie, 51% were 9:00 PM or later and 48% were before 6 PM, with 10:00 PM the single most common. Prime time, 7:00 to 8:30 PM, accounts for 1%. There is almost no middle of the evening in this dataset, because the middle of the evening never survives long enough to be sampled.
The scarcity is itself the finding: at most restaurants we are measuring which hours stay open, and at this one we are counting the few times anything did.
So set expectations at a late seating or an early one. If a table reaches you, that is very likely what it is, and treating it as a consolation prize is the surest way to talk yourself out of the only reservation you are going to be offered.
In practice, a Don Angie table means catching a cancellation. Since the release almost never leaves a slot standing for an ordinary diner, the openings real people take come from somebody else giving theirs up, and those do not arrive on a schedule. They surface at odd hours as plans change, parties shrink and deposits get reconsidered.
The cancellations that matter cluster in the last day or two before a date, when guests who booked a week ago finally admit they are not going. For a short window that seat belongs to whoever sees it first. A table released mid-afternoon on a Wednesday is invisible unless something is watching Don Angie on OpenTable, and no human being can refresh a page every few minutes for two straight days while holding a job.
That is the gap an alert fills, and it is worth being precise about what an alert is. SnagRes re-checks Don Angie on OpenTable around the clock and texts or emails you the moment a table appears. It does not book for you, hold inventory or resell a seat. You get the message, then you make the reservation in your own name on OpenTable.
Watch OpenTable, not Resy. Don Angie does not list on Resy, so the whole game happens on the other platform.
Check at 9:00 AM, the commonly cited release time, and again at 3 PM, when we most often see new dates appear.
Ask for a Friday or a Tuesday if the night is movable.
Expect a seating around 10:00 PM, the slot most often open.
Be ready at the release, then let an alert catch the tables given back after it. That is how most people get in.
Let something watch the calendar for you, because cancellations surface at hours nobody can predict.
A bot cannot create a table, and at 0% availability that is the binding constraint. Software that books faster than you can is competing for the same 148 openings we found in 201,735 checks, and the openings that actually reach ordinary diners are cancellations, which arrive at random hours rather than at a contestable starting gun.
There is also a real difference between being told about a table and having one bought on your behalf. Services that book and then resell reservations charge for the seat itself, which is precisely the practice New York's 2024 reservation law was written to address. SnagRes never books a table, never holds one and never sells one. We watch, we tell you, and you book it yourself.
That is not a moral flourish, it is a design constraint we keep on purpose, and it is why the useful thing we can offer on a room like this one is measurement and speed rather than inventory. For Don Angie that means two clock times instead of one, the right night, a late expectation, and a message the second somebody's plans change.

Don Angie releases reservations 7 days ahead, and its calendar runs about 30 days deep in our checks. At the last check a table for two was bookable on 0% of the dates in that window, so the release itself is the one real chance, and the rest come back as cancellations.
Because the tables that exist are gone at the drop. Across 201,735 checks, Don Angie has shown a bookable table for two on 0% of dates, though 3% of dates opened at some point. We have recorded 679 release events there. 1% of the openings we have seen were between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. The seats you can actually get are the ones that come back when someone cancels, which is why an alert on the date beats refreshing.
Don Angie's calendar reaches 1 November on Sunday, 25 October, and each later date follows the same rule: 7 days ahead. Hours are local to the restaurant.
